My NYU colleague and good friend Adam Sexton has developed a wonderful informational meeting about what you need to consider when applying for a program in creative writing at New York University.
If you’re considering applying to a master’s program or just want to learn what’s required, I cannot recommend this class enough. Space is very limited, so register today.
PUBLIC SEMINAR: Graduate Study in Creative Writing: What to Expect When You Are Applying
Friday, October 30, 2009 – Are you considering applying to a master’s program in creative writing? In this free, 90-minute seminar, we walk you through the process so that you can prepare an application in time for the next round of deadlines.
6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
NYU Silver Center
100 Washington Square, Room 504
New York, NY
We consider overall strategy, how many programs one should apply to, the relative merits of one- and two-year programs, and state versus private universities. We discuss the importance of college grades and GRE scores, the etiquette of requesting letters of recommendation, and the format of the all-important writing sample. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of studying creative writing in an academic setting, and the value of the degree itself, are addressed.
